Can you show the coding needed to disable the enter key on a textedit box or at the form level?This form is using multi-line textedit boxes and I would like to prevent the user from pressing the enter key from jumping to the next line in the textedit boxes.

I have a form that consists of only a TableLayoutPanel (which fills the entire form) containing a vertical stack of buttons. The resulting app is used in conjunction with another app. What I would like is to have the vb app do something when the mouse enters the form. Unfortunately, all mouse enter/leave events are trapped by the panel or the buttons.
As a quick test I created a form with a tablelayoutpanel (docked to fill the form) containing one button. I added the following code:
Private Sub Form1_MouseEnter(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles

I am creating an Excel add-in written in VB.NET. I would like to bind KeyDown and KeyUp events to the spreadsheet to record when the user presses and releases the arrow keys while navigating the spreadsheetIdeally, these events would be built into Excel alongside the native SheetActivate and SheetSelectionChange events, for example. Alas, they are not.

Is there a way to prevent the Enter key from being interpreted as a button click.
I am trapping key strokes at the form level but if a button has the focus and the ENTER key is pressed I cannot trap the enter because the button consumes it as a button click event. I am also unable to trap the enter key in any of the button's key events.
I am interfacing with magtripe swipe and barcode readers that send their information as keystrokes with a CRLF at the end. I have a work around by chaning the focus to a textbox anytime keystrokes are detected but I am hoping for better control.
Is there a way to disable the buttons ability to do this?
I find that each time there is a new line when enter key is press in VB intellisense is annoying. Although space is ok, but each time it has a new space and I have to press return to remove it, which is also inconvienient for multiple selections.

View 3 RepliesI need to limit the 1 line text entered in a XtraGrid repository editor to its column fixed width. I cannot use a monospaced font and MaxLenght because this field will be shown in a report.In KeyPress event handler I tried to create a Label, put the string on it and compare its PreferedSize. Width to the column's Width. It almost worked well but is not easy to control Paste operations if I have to remove the exceeding chars (f.ex.: if I change the text value, the cursor jumps to 0).I also tried using ActiveEditor. CreateGraphics. Measure String but cannot get it to draw(measure) the text the same way DevExpress does.If I could catch a Before_WordWrap event it would be a solution.
View 1 RepliesWhen editing C# code in Visual Studio 2010, the ENTER key makes IntelliSense complete the current suggestion, without adding a new line. In VB.NET, the default IntelliSense behavior for the ENTER key is to add a new line after completing the current suggestion.
How can I configure IntelliSense to change the VB.NET behavior to the C# one?I already know that I could press TAB or SPACE, but out of habit I always end up hitting ENTER (and changing line).
In Visual Basic 2008, there's two different ways that I know of to accomplish the same thing:The Dim on the member level:
Dim counter1 as integer = 0
Dim counter2 as integer = 180

I have created a simple program which uses a two tier structure of SQL Tables.At the top level, one record holds the date of the activities and linked to it using its primary key as a foreign key, three subordinate tables hold time stamped records.The issue I have been unable to solve is that before adding any of the lower level records for a given date, a newly added top level record must be saved to the database.Doing this manually is simple - but can I rely on my users to remember to do this before they start plugging in the lower level data?I thought not, so I am looking to save the top level automatically.I've failed miserably but I refuse to believe that it's not possible.

View 1 RepliesI have a form with a button that brings up a different form. In some versions of this program (don't ask), the second form is shown non-modally, but in my version it is shown modally. The point of that last statement is that the second form can be either modal or non-modal, so an answer needs to handle either one, but the modal option is more valuable.If form 2 throws an exception that is not handled, the exception is caught somewhere on Form1, though the exact place that it is caught is largely dependent on where the exception was thrown from. The question is this: I need a means to trap all exceptions raised on Form2 or anything called from Form2 such that no exception EVER propagates out of Form2 to be caught in Form1. The reason for this is that Form2 HAS to perform some cleanup for reasons that I have zero control over. That cleanup doesn not absolutely require user input, but it would be good to have some.Is there any event that is fired if a form is exited due to a call stack unwinding as an unhandled exception propagates up the stack?
View 7 RepliesI've got a form with a listbox on it.In a second form I inherit the complete first form. But when I try to use that listbox in the second form with e.g.Index = LstWoodshop.FindString (Order(0))(where LstWoodshop is that inherited Listbox) I get the error message:'LstWood shop' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.What or where can I change this setting so that this listbox on form 1 is also available/accessible on form 2?
View 5 RepliesIt is times like these that I miss the old VB6 language I wish I could hide the current forn and show another form which - this is the important thing - to be on the same level that the previous form was . You see , I used to use this code :
Me.Hide Form2.Show However , sometimes in VB .NET this does not work the way I want it to . You see , the current form does get hidden and Form2 is shown indeed ; however , Form2 is shown somewhere in the background . If there are other programs opened at that time , then Form2 is shown behind all those programs , that's what I mean by saying I want it to be shown in the same level as the previous form was the only way out , I found , was to reverse the code :
Form2.Show Me.Hide In this way Form2 is successfully shown right where the previous form was shown (above the other programs) but in some cases this also is not pleasant because it might take some time for Form2 to load while at the same time the previous form is still visible on the screen and therefore for a slight time both forms are shown one over the other , which is surely not nice . That's why I still want to first hide the first form and later show Form2 .
How can I disable the parent form when I call a child form?This code doesn't disable the parent form like I thought it would:
frmChild.ShowDialog()
my application have a main form. i have set the isMDIcontainer to true on the form properties. How do i set other forms to child form of the parent. i need to do this because the other forms start position is CenterParent.but as it is now when i run the program the other forms start position is not the parent form centre.Secondly, how do i disable the parent form when a child form is on display. so that user cannot click on the parent form until the child form is closed.
View 1 RepliesIn the following code, a local printer dialog box shows and its choices are implemented in the printout, but if the user goes to a 2nd-level printer dialog box such as by clicking an Advanced or Properties button, choices made therein (such as landscape/portrait or scaling) are not implemented in the printout (prfPrintForm is a PowerPacks.Printing.PrintForm on form frmPlotTrends). Is there something else that must be done to make the 2nd-level dialogs work?

View 1 RepliesI have multiple level of For Each and in each level, i have a Linq that is the 'In' criteria as in:
[Code]....
It will go inside each for (because the value is not nothing), however, it will only loop (next) in the very inner 'For Each t In tFor'. After it is finish inner loops, the outer Fors' or Next will not execute... even thought there are more than one values in that 'In'... like 'sFor' or 'fFor'. i've noticed while debuging, while break at the for (for example 'sFor', before stepping in), i get the error message:
"Enumeration yielded no results" when i expand the result for that variable and it will not step into it. but if i do not expand the result, it will step in. It seem that some how, once an element is accessed for that 'In' collection, it breaks (meaning does not loop for the rest of the elements) the next for that collection is this a bug or am i missing something in Linq? BTW: i believe it has something to do with the SqlDataReader in the Linq. I'm working with IAsyncResult.
